Earlier this year I was invited to create a unique prop for the FourPlay theatre festival in Paris. The piece I came up with was one of four created specially for the festival and presented to the writers to craft their narratives around. The festival runs over the course of a weekend and presents four newly commissioned plays, hence its playfully provocative name. All four scripts included all four of the props, each framed in different terms and pressed to different purposes. Mine found itself becoming, in turn, a harpoon / an oar / a rifle / a gallows.
The performances happened last week and I've just received these beautiful images, as shot by Stephanie Carranza. By all accounts the festival - only now in its second year - was a great success. I am honoured to have played a small role.
